Corpus Christi police: Man barricades himself in house late Friday

CORPUS CHRISTI - Police and SWAT team members worked toward a peaceful resolution late Friday as they attempted to persuade a 55-year-old man who barricaded himself in a house to surrender.

Officers responded to an emergency call in the 1800 block of Talisman Street just after 8:30 p.m., Senior Officer Kirk Stowers said. Stowers said the call was placed by a woman who had been involved in an argument with the man at the home.

Police said the pair were involved in an altercation and the woman fled the home after the man discharged a firearm.
